Right-handers Jaime Barria and Carson Fullmer, left-hander Jhonathan Diaz, outfielder Brett Phillips and catcher Chad Wallach were also outrighted. Walsh, Barria, Phillps and Wallach were all arbitration eligible, making them candidates to be non-tendered in November. This move simply shifts the timeline on their potential free agency up by a month.
